Canada'S Actions.

OTTAWA, ONT, Jan. 31.--A circu.
lar has been received from the Brit
ish Admiralty calling upon all ma.
rine pensioners under fif.y-five years
of age to hold themselves in resdi-
ness for active service. The circular
also requests an immediate answer
as to age. whether the pensioner is a
long service one or is inyalided,
whether a gunner or torpedo artifi-
Ger, and to state the nearest ship.of-
war he could attend for examination.
Travelling expenses are to be paid by
the British Government. For not
complying with the order the PEN
sioner will forfeit his pension, and
at the discretion of the Government
may be arrested and punished as a
deserter. Only one such circular has
been issued since the Crimean war.
Considerable excitement has been
caused among the foreigners and
their families.
A Toronto dispatch says: The
present position of Canada in rela.
tion to the fisheries is regarded In a
much more serious light by the Ga.
madam and Imperial Governments
than by the leading newspapers and
the people generally of this country.
1t is rumored here that the Governor
General has during the past few
days been engaged in an important
correspondence from Ottawa with
the Imperial authorities. 1t has been
pretty we'll agreed upon by her
Majesty's representative at Ottawa,
so the rumor goes, that it has become
necessary to send forces to Canada
without delay, and that several I'm
perial regiments will as soon as pos.
sible be brought here by war ships,
and that one or two of the ships will
remain at Halifax, to be ready for
any emergency. 1t was intended
some time ago to send a number of
battalions of volunteers from differ
ent parts of Canada to take part in
Queen Victoria's jubilee, but now the
militia understand that the trip has
been cancelled. and that the Minister
Of Militia at Ottawa has some reason
for keeping them In Canada.

Senator really believes that Canada

been an outrage upon law and the

Brigham Young Alive.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3O.-A special dis
patch from Lincoln. Neb., says:
Two miles south of this city stands
"a palatial residence owned by An
English gentleman long identified
with the Mormon church. The resi-
dence has been untenanted for the
last two years save by an old servant
named White, who at one time was
connected with the Jezrels of Lon
don, a sect similar to the Mormons.
White claims he was defrauded by
them out Of his property. and latterly
became converted to the Mormon
faith. He was considered trust
worthy man and was. therefore, par
TALLY through necessit y taken into
the confidence of the leaders of the
Mormon church of Zion, which, &C.
cording TO his statements, is about to
perpetrate fraud to which he IL un-
willing to become party. He says:
''Two months ago there arrived ut
the mansion an old gentleman bear
ing letters from my master in LON
don, the purpOrt of which was to
obey his every wish and to keep his
presence secret to all exce,t those
to whom he saw fit to reveal himself.
Within a week persons began to
arrive at the house in twOs and
threes. They were from Salt Lake
City and held long, whispered con-
situations with my mysterious guest.

the people for the great event of his

My only reason for telling these
facts Is that am an old man with
but little to gain in this world and do
not want to see people deluded as I
have been. The Jezrels absorbed my
competence. and now the the Nor

1t isa well known fact that the
elders ofthe Mormon Church through

been preaching the return of the
prophet. This, together with the
fact that it was claimed by a st

Young was seen and recognized in
London. that a number of prominent
Mormons from Salt Lake City have

Lincoln. that important legislation

Capt Coffee, of Windsor, who has been chosen
by the Board of Directors Superintendent of
the Vermont Soldiers Home at Bennington,
has taken charge of the Home. It will at pres
ent accommodate only 20 or 25 people. If ap-
plications extend beyond that number, it is
likely that an additional building will be put
up as soon as possible. The directors have al
ready provided for such an emergency. The
plan provides for a structure 143 feet in length
and upward of 40 feet wide, with two wings
extending backward 10 feet and "a feet wide.
There will be two stories and a high basement.
The building will probably be of wood. A hall
runs through the main building and the wings
on all the floors. The basement will contain
an amusement-rOom, sitting-room, dining
room, kitchen, laundry, furnace, boiler, fuel
room, store rooms, pantry, etc. The ground
floor will consist of invalid and hospital rooms,
sleeping-rooms bathrooms, ETC., and the top
floor will be divided in a similar manner. The
structure will have architectural merit, and
will be surrounded by q wide veranda for the
ground floor. On the grounds is the famous
fountain that throws stream of water 1S5 feet
high next to the highest fountain in the world,
being surpassed only by that at WilhelmshOhe,
whore Napoleon III was kept prisoner after
Sedan, and which is only few feet higher.

To these could be added hundreds, but space
fordids more at this time. A remarkable fact
is exhibited, that in all these thousands of
copies of resolutions of respect and coincidence
no two are expressed exactly alike. Many are
perfect specimens of rhetoric and the use of the
English language; all are full of Pathos and
sincerity.
Mrs. Logan expects, as soon as she can, to
convert a large hall at Calumet Place, long in
disuse, into Memorial Hall, where these trib-
utes, together with many trophies and sacred
souvenirs of Gen. Logan, will be placed, that
they may be preserved, and where friends and
comrades who desire can look upon them when
they feel inclined to pay his memory respect.
In acknowledgment of these tributes, letters,
and kilograms of coincidence, Mrs. Logan sent
kind words of thanks and appreciation. In
some eases the parties neglected to give Post

ceived the replies intended for them.

Agriculture in Egypt depended very much on
irrigation, and much work of the Israelites
consisted probably in digging trenches and
bitches. The buildings constructed by the
IsraeIites were mostly for public governmental
use, since the bricks found bear the royal
stamp. Great ruins Of brick structures are
found specially in what was Goshen. Ditching
would be specially unhealthy, and was assigned
to Israelites largely on this very account. In

God in trial and adversity. He stirs up our

2. Be not afraid to leave your offspring in
Gods care when you die. Abraham, Isaac,

their offspring according to promise.
